Room was lovely and spacious and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Staff were very friendly/ Breakfast room was spacious and caught the morning sunshine. Breakfast was delicious and much better that some we have had in more expensive hotels.

This was my first time in this area, I stayed in a rural environment and the views were amazing. I got lucky with sunny days and traveling around the area, the rolling hills were very eyecatching. Lovely views from the hill tops, there are lots of hills, not so good if you have trouble getting about, however driving around and taking in the views in the quiet country lanes was a big highlight for me. The towns are easy to find and are clustered around a twenty mile area, which means you don't have to travel far to see new things or visit a different towns.

Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham.
Lanchester was a lovely location with easy access to Durham. There were a variety of restaurants, we chose to eat in Clinton's which was next door to our accommodation, the old post office. The food was the best restaurant food I have had for a very long time. I would highly recommend the area and the facilities I used.

Really, we were not staying in Lanchester itself, but it does have two good restaurants and a good range of local shops, and there is free parking throughout, and there is a bypass that keeps unwanted traffic out of the town centre.

Burnhopeside Hall was even better than we had imagined and well will definitely stay again. We would highly recommend this property. The hosts were very helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. The house and garden are beautiful and coffee on the lawn is very special.
Burnhopeside Hall is one of the best bed and breakfasts I have stayed in.
In charming Lanchester, close to Durham and Newcastle, The Old Post Office was a great find. Beautiful rooms with lots of little extras and attention to detail. Breakfast was outstanding, with lots of choice and GF options. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We chatted to Keith for some time - he’s a great character with lots of stories. We’ll be back.
A wonderful pub/hotel with exceptional service. The staff were exceptional. The food was excellent and tremendous value for money. The cost of the room including an excellent breakfast was also exceptional value for money. The bedrooms were large with extremely comfortable beds All in all a true gem of a place
Loved the room, bed was great toilet and shower were clean, the food was good and extremely cheap. I bought a New Yorker burger and chips. The staff were friendly and great hosts and the Inn it self is situated about 5 mins from a nature reserve which was an added bonus. Really enjoyed my short stay here.

Beautiful house with a wonderful owner. This is as good a private hotel as anywhere you could hope for. The two dogs added fun and the breakfast was superb. Also a very good recommendation for a local restaurant. Thank you Christine
Perfect location for local trips to Hartlepool, Beamish and the moors.
Lanchester itself also v good for local shops, eatery options etc.
Attentive staff making good efforts after a very recent change of hands.
Wonderful small inn, at a good location outside of Durham. Pub was great and we really enjoyed time spent there with the owners and a few locals. Rooms are newly renovated and comfortable.
